I have read a lot about Sweet & Sara marshmallows, but never got around to ordering any because (a) I don't really miss marshmallows and (b) I hate paying shipping & handling. So what a lovely surprise to run across them at Whole Foods! I bought a package of the plain marshmallows, original s'mores, and peanut butter s'mores. And wow. I can't stop eating these! They taste just like I remember marshmallows tasting and are just a little more dense. I prefer the plain marshmallows to the s'mores but that's because the s'mores gave me a sugary-tummyache (maybe I should not have eaten the whole thing at once, hmm).
There are also toasted coconut marshmallows, which I am eager to try. I also want to try toasting the marshmallows. My dad put one in the microwave and it did get all puffy, so I have high hopes for toastiness.
They are kind of pricey (a 7.5oz. package is about $6) but it is definitely worth it. I was going to say that they are not an everyday treat, but then I realized that I actually have had at least one a day since buying them. I can't help it!
Everything at Whole Foods is expensive. My wish is that everyone had access to a nice Farmer's Market. There is a lovely one in my area, Dekalb International Farmer's Market. You can find all kinds of healthy goodies there for cheap.
ReplyDeleteI go to the Farmer's Market in my town and while it is really lovely, it is pretty small and only open for a couple months. I'm currently working on moving to Portland, OR and part of the reason is that they have huge Farmer's Markets almost all-year-round. I'm definitely looking forward to giving less of my money to Whole Foods.
